Holland, Michigan - Interstate 196 - Netflix

Interstate 196 (I-196) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway that runs for
80.6 miles (129.7 km) in the US state of Michigan. It is a state
trunkline highway that links Benton Harbor, South Haven, Holland, and
Grand Rapids together. In Kent, Ottawa, and Allegan counties, I-196 is
known as the Gerald R. Ford Freeway, or simply the Ford Freeway, after
the 38th President of the United States, Gerald Ford, who was raised in
Grand Rapids and served Michigan in the House of Representatives. This
name generally refers only to the section between Holland and Grand
Rapids. I-196 changes direction; it is signed as a north–south highway
from its southern terminus to the junction with US Highway 31 (US 31)
just south of Holland, and as an east–west trunkline from this point to
its eastern terminus at an interchange with I-96, its parent highway.
There are currently three business routes related to the main freeway.
There are two business loops (BL I-196) and one business spur (BS I-196)
that serve South Haven, Holland and the Grand Rapids areas. Another
business spur for Muskegon had been designated relative to the I-196
number. The current freeway numbered I-196 is the second in the state to
bear the number. Originally to be numbered as part of the I-94 corridor
in the state, the Benton Harbor–Grand Rapids freeway was given the I-96
number in the 1950s while another Interstate between Muskegon and Grand
Rapids was numbered I-196. That I-196 was built in the late 1950s and
completed in the early 1960s. The first segment of the current I-196 was
opened as I-96 near Benton Harbor in 1962. Michigan officials requested
a change in 1963, which reversed the two numbers and the subsequent
segments of freeway opened northward to Holland and from Grand Rapids
westward under the current number. The gap between Holland and
Grandville was filled in the 1970s, and a section of freeway that runs
through downtown Grand Rapids was rebuilt as a wider freeway in 2010.

Holland, Michigan - Current designation - Netflix

In 1962, a section of freeway along US 31 was opened between I-94 and
the Berrien–Van Buren county line. This section was originally
designated as part of I-96/US 31. After the designation switch in 1963,
an additional 35 miles (56 km) were opened from the northern end of
I-196 near Benton Harbor to Holland as I-196. An additional section of
freeway was opened between Grandville through downtown Grand Rapids to
meet I-96 at the end of 1964. M-21 was moved to the freeway from its
previous surface-street routing. The final link in the freeway was
completed in November 1974 along the Holland–Grandville segment,
completing I-196 for a second time. At the same time, M-21 was removed
from the freeway, truncating that highway designation to end in Grand
Rapids. In 2009, access to Jenison was improved by the addition of a
partial interchange with Baldwin Street. The section through downtown
Grand Rapids east of the Grand River was rebuilt during 2010 in a
project MDOT dubbed the “Fix on I-196”. The project added a third travel
lane in each direction with weave-merge lanes between interchanges and
rebuilt several of the overpasses in the area. In 2016, the sections of
I-196 that run concurrently with US 31 north of the M-63 interchange,
except between the ends of the business loop at South Haven were
designated as part of the West Michigan Pike Pure Michigan Byway.
